    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Mover and the Seconder of the Motion, Sen. Sang, who while commending me, said that we have put people under a lot of pressure. I have not put anyone under a lot of pressure. We must be creative as a Senate and, as respective Senators, we must stand together. If there is an issue that we must go to Laikipia County for, we must go as Senators. If there is something in Nandi County about oversight, we must go to Nandi County. If there is something about oversight in Makueni County, we must go to Makueni. The same applies to Homa Bay, West Pokot, Trans Nzoia and Migori counties. It is time we formed a conspiracy to fight corruption and lack of accountability in county governments and in both arms of county governments. We should participate collectively on issues that we need to discuss about accountability and there is a marauding governor who wants to frustrate everything. One of our Senators was disrupted when he wanted to empower the public. Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki needed to call us so that we face that governor head on. The police also needed to prosecute the disruptors of those rallies. We must have accountability forums across this country so that we capacitate our people. In the meantime, these petitions will be ready avenues. Nothing can preclude a petition presented before county assemblies and the Senate. It means that it does not exempt one from talking about accountability. It must not forestall or be a pre-emptive measure so that people may not discuss hefty issues around the county governments. Therefore, I share passionately in this Bill. I am waiting for that day when President Uhuru will sign it. I always see hon. Duale and Speaker Muturi at State House whenever the President is signing Bills. I am looking forward to seeing the Speaker of the Senate, hon. Ethuro, and the Senate leaders of Majority and Minority stand before the President so that he can also acknowledge the flagship of legislative processes that The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
